QUITTING CRUISE SHIP WORK🚢⁉️ life updates, health issues, starting a new chapter
She’s baaaack! And this time for longer than expected hopefully! I figured it would be easiest to answer the most commonly asked question all in one video to explain whether or not I’m returning to working on cruise ships. It’s a tough decision but I gotta put myself first! Also, I’m in the process of getting my fiance to move to Canada?! I’m so excited to build our life here!♡

      For me, it depends on if you have another contract lined up after! It's best to use your main gate passes right after your contract or within that month from what I've heard. But again, depends on how long you'll be away from the company!

    Few questions. 1. Contracts. Once you have a contract and it ends , how soon can your next contract start? Would it be another Disney ship or can it be any other ship like Royal Caribbean or Virgin Atlantic? 2. Besides clothes, what else would you need to bring, like bedding, towels, specialty soaps, shampoo, laundry detergent that someone might use and may not be available on the ship or anything else not limited to this list. 3. Ordering items like more clothes, electronics and other items not available on the ships. If you can’t get off the ship? How does it get to you? Other mail like letters?

    Hi. Thank you for sharing this. I definitely believe the experience for an entertainer is a lot better on an oceanic cruise line rather than a river one. I'm from Europe and just got an offer for a river cruise as an Entertainment host, however river boats are really tiny, space is even more crammed than on an oceanic one for staff, and a lot more noise at night due to the ship passing through locks. Even guests cannot sleep. Team is too small to make friends within your department. And at least in my case the company that operates the cruise lines has some of the worst reviews I ever read (for ex, people showing up for breakfast and being gone by lunch...they quit the same day they arrive due to poor management and apparently food being inedible). Long story short, always also check the reviews for Any company that makes you an offer and stick to oceanic cruises.
